This week on Fordham Conversations, we continue our look at Communism in
Harlem during the Great depression. With my guest Mark Naison, we take a
closer look at Richard Wright and Paul Robeson's forays into Communism,
and we talk about the lingering affects of this little-discussed chapter
in American History. (part 2 of 2)

Most of us are familiar with the Harlem Renaissance, but we may not know
that around that same time, the Communist Party was gaining a major
foothold in the neighborhood and in other African-American areas
throughout the country. We'll begin a conversation about race and
American communism in the 1930s, with Fordham Historian Mark Naison
(part 1 of 2).

President Bush announced this week that he's seeking to double spending
on AIDS prevention...but what does fighting HIV/AIDS look like on the
ground? We talk to recent Fordham Law grad Brian Honermann about his
work fighting for people with AIDS in South Africa, and we'll hear
voices from around the world of people whose lives have been affected by
AIDS.
